I want to flush the radiator in my 97 Ranger w/ 4cyl engine
but I've never done that before.How can I be sure I don't
leave any air pockets inside after I'm done?
TIA

Refill the radiator with the engine running and the heater control on full hot,
to avoid air in the system. Also flush & fill the coolant recovery tank with
50/50 mix.

You may also want to have the front of the vehicle up on ramps or jackstands
so air bubbles can migrate towards the upper radiator hose and radiator cap.

Also make sure the overflow tank is filled and the overflow tube to it is
clear

vacume????

What's vacume tool? Talk about being a 'retard'! Before you throw
stones, it would be wise to learn to spell the words you use. Possibly
you meant....vacuum?

Helpful posts are always appreciated. Hope you appreciate this one...

I think that spelling is a derivative of the way one of the guys at
work spells it. "vaqume"

Somehow I doubt that.
